Garlic crusher

Abstract

A garlic crusher is composed of a upper pressing on which is disposed a pressing block, a lower pressing piece on which is disposed a garlic-pressing groove for accepting the pressing block, and a through-hole-matrix metal sheet. Using a pintle, the corresponding ends respectively of the upper and the lower pressing piece are connected to be a hinge joint. The garlic-pressing groove is disposed at one end of the lower pressing piece near the pintle, and formed by the downward through-aperture on the lower pressing piece and a through-hole-matrix metal sheet, which is inserted into the lower pressing piece through an inserting slot to take its position just above the widow disposed on the lower pressing piece. The garlic crusher is quite convenient in installation and in operation.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A garlic crusher is composed of a upper pressing  1 , on which is disposed a pressing block  11 , a lower pressing piece  2 , on which is disposed a garlic-pressing groove  21  for accepting the pressing block  11 , and a through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3 . Using a pintle  5 , the corresponding ends respectively of said upper pressing piece  1  and said lower pressing piece  2  are connected to be a hinge joint. It is characterized by that said garlic-pressing groove  21  is disposed at one end of said lower pressing piece  2  near said pintle  5  and said garlic-pressing groove  21  is formed by the downward through-aperture on said lower pressing piece  2  and said through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3 , which is inserted into said lower pressing piece  2  through an inserting slot  23  to take its position just above a window  22  disposed on the bottom surface of said lower pressing piece  2  and has a great many of through-holes  33  arranged to be a matrix thereon.  
     
     
         2 . The garlic crusher as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said garlic crusher is characterized by that on said lower pressing piece  2  is disposed a T-shaped slot  27 ; on said through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3  is disposed a T-shaped tab  31  besides a great many of through-holes  33  arranged to be a matrix thereon; once said T-shaped tab  32  is inserted into said T-shaped slot  27  through an entrance  26  of T-shaped slot  27  for T-shaped tab  32 , then said through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3  may be inserted into said lower pressing piece  2  through said inserting slot  23 ; said T-shaped tab  32  may be moved forward in said T-shaped slot  27  along with said through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3  being pushed forward in said lower pressing piece  2 ; when said through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3  is pushed to take its operational position and firmly jammed there, a garlic-pressing groove  21  will be formed by the positioned through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3  and the downward through-aperture on said lower pressing piece  2 .  
     
     
         3 . The garlic crusher as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said garlic crusher is characterizes by that at another end of said lower pressing piece  2  far away from said pintle  5  is disposed a storage groove  24  and a clip holder  25 ; on said clip holder is clamped another one through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3  with a through-diameter other than that of the originally inserted through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3 .  
     
     
         4 . The garlic crusher as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said garlic crusher is characterized that the height of aforesaid inserting slot  23  must be determined in correspondence to the thickness of the through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3 , so that both of them may be in a close sliding fit state.  
     
     
         5 . The garlic crusher as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said garlic crusher is characterized that the height of aforesaid inserting slot  23  must be determined in correspondence to the thickness of the through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3 , so that both of them may be in a close sliding fit state.  
     
     
         6 . The garlic crusher as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein said garlic crusher is characterized that the height of aforesaid inserting slot  23  must be determined in correspondence to the thickness of the through-hole-matrix metal sheet  3 , so that both of them may be in a close sliding fit state.
